I expect a transparent sphere with LEGO boulders, perhaps with a "pitted texture", inside... or maybe just the LEGO boulders without the sphere? They might make decent asteroids given the scale of the ships.

Who said anything about it being an asteroid FIELD? I believe Ace just left an "L" out of filled and wrote filed. You know it will either be a sphere painted like the asteroid the Falcon hid in or (fingers crossed) a molded asteroid similar to the Death Moon... I mean Star.

Not sure I got that right, but I assumed 'Field' was the correct interpretation given how frequently E's and L's get swapped when people type. Logically I know it probably will just be a sphere as convention dictates. If it is, perhaps I'll have to construct an asteroid fiELd myself.

I also read this as "asteroid FIELD" -- and I'm pretty sure that's what I had read elsewhere too.

A black version of the large two-part planet "sphere" printed with a number of asteroids would be one possibility. The other thing that occurred to me was that they could use a number of the smaller two-part "boulder" pieces (previously used in things in sets like the Power Miners series), supported on transparent stands.

I'm curious to see what Lego actually come up with for this.

On another note, let's hope they also get around to making an updated minifig-scale version of the TIE-bomber in the new black/grey colour scheme. What would be nice would be to include the option to convert the bomber pod to the alternative passenger shuttle pod.

That's what I was envisioning initially, yes. If they don't make it, I think I'll have to, but it would be nicer if they did it and gave us some nice asteroid-textured boulders.

It may be called "Asteroid Field," but I still think it will just be that one, single giant asteroid the Falcon hid in that the TIE Bombers were seen... bombing... Whether that means we'll just get a smooth, round sphere with printed craters on it, or (please please please) a textured, possibly oblong asteroid is all that remains to be seen in my book.

Over at hothbricks.com they have pics of the planet series 3 and 4. You can see the preliminary image stamp but all you can see is a black sphere. Hoping its not just some brown paint splatter on a black sphere.

I'm really liking the new A-wing, and the CW AT-RT isn't half bad. The Z-95 I was really looking forward to, but after finally seeing it, I'm not so sure I like it. I'm just used to the more traditional version, and was expecting something more along those lines.

Also, I could be wrong here but I don't think I've ever seen so many original themes in one year alone. Legend of Chima (looks interesting), the continuation of the Ninjago theme, the bug/space theme, and apparently a new Western theme as well. It's going to be a big year.
